I will be in Lubbock this weekend (Fri/Sat) and would like to swim where BS70.3 will be (I will also be riding and running). Does anyone know of a group that swims on the weekends, not a fan of OWS alone. Anyone in the area want to meet up and train? I am aware there is a Sprint Tri there Sunday, but will not be able to stay through the weekend.

I grew up in Lubbock and go back there for BSLT almost every year. I don't think there is an OWS group there. You can go check out the lake, but I wouldn't advise swimming much farther than the beach area on your own. There are a lot of drunk boaters out there and it's not a very big lake.

Thanks...actually found a fellow ST'r who lives there and will be meeting them for a swim. Several people have reached out and warned me about the crazy boaters....thank for the heads up.

If it rains beforehand do please stay out of the water. Collegiate nationals was held there in 2009 or so. It rained a couple inches the day before and about a third of those who swam got sick. If i recall about half of the sick people required hospitalization.
